It seems to me that to reproduce this warning, I have to use the
sparc64 compiler. I have installed 'sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc' on my
computer.

Sparse is not a compiler.

I have to specify that this compiler needs to be used for build
process. How/ Where do I specify this?

I have downloaded the config.gz (has config file) and placed it at the
root of the linux kernel project tree. But the Makefile STILL has
'gcc' as the compiler. When I build, it is the 'gcc' compiler being
used and not 'sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc'. I know I can manually change the
Makefile to use sparc64 compiler, but I think there must be some more
elegant way to do this, perhaps using make menuconfig?

If you wish to run a compilation, download a compiler from [1], and,
after adding its bin/ folder to PATH, run
make CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- ARCH=sparc64 ... # first generate .config

Kindly illuminate as to how shall I reproduce the compiler warning.

Hmm... I think I sent a reply [2] where I explained how space can be
64. Do you agree with analysis?
